Assignment Problem: Watch two movies, both "The Core" and "San Andreas" and write a one to two page report for each movie describing what is geologically wrong and occasionally right with the movie. Describe in detail the events you are referring to in the movie and the geologic processes that make what occurs in the movie impossible or unlikely to occur. Use your textbook and actual scientific articles to support your information. You may use the occasional website provided the website is a legitimate source such as NASA or the USGS (United States Geological Survey). DO NOT use Wikipedia. Include a list of references, MLA format preferred, but not necessary.
Writing style: This is a scientific paper and should be written as such. This means avoid using first person when writing. For example, do not use phrases such as "I think" or "In my opinion". Base your paper on scientific fact and theory and support with your references. Be sure to explain any geologic concepts clearly in a way that anyone that reads the paper can understand what you are talking about. Do not write about any aspects of the movie that are unscientific. You may include scientific problems that are not geologically related, but do focus on the geology.
